Wordle, the viral word game where you guess a 5-letter word, is everywhere. It’s in group chats, in Slack threads, and all over social media. There are Wordle clones, and clever spins on the format. Someone — in a major asshole move — even created a Twitter bot that spoiled Wordle for avid players. But here’s something a little more pure: Google, the search engine, has a cute little Easter egg for players searching for the game. Here, give it a go: Open Google Type in Wordle

WASHINGTON, Jan 24 (Reuters) – Texas, Indiana, Washington State and the District of Columbia sued Alphabet Inc’s Google (GOOGL.O) on Monday over what they called deceptive location-tracking practices that invade users’ privacy. “Google falsely led consumers to believe that changing their account and device settings would allow customers to protect their privacy and control what personal data the company could access,” Washington, D.C., Attorney General Karl Racine’s office said in a… Source link

Antonio Brown wants to play with Lamar Jackson. The sentiment seems mutual. Three weeks after very publicly quitting his job with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Brown was busy lobbying for his next gig on Monday.

In the wake of arguably the most thrilling divisional-round playoff game in NFL history, social media was filled with fans advocating for another change to league overtime rules.

If this wasn’t the greatest weekend in NFL playoff history, it’ll do until a better one comes along. Four walkoff wins. Four games decided by a combined 15 points. Three upsets that rank among the best games of the year, and one undeniable classic that ranks among the best NFL games of all time. This is why the NFL, like the house, always wins in the end — because after all the off-field drama, after all the sleazy amoral corporate maneuvering and criminal behavior, this is a game that,… Source link

Google is working on a lower-end Chromecast with Google TV that would slot in below its current model in price — and also video resolution. According to Protocol’s Janko Roettgers, the upcoming, cheaper Chromecast will run the same Google TV software as the existing hardware and will still include a remote control. But it will be limited to a maximum of 1080p video quality. Playing to that limitation, Protocol believes Google might market the device as “Chromecast HD with Google… Source link
